Default A8 D3 - how to remove the glovebox?

Gents,

Months after buying the AMI unit, I have still not been able to fit it. The problem is that I cannot remove the CD player with the removal keys, and I have been told that the only way is to remove the glovebox.

Is there a guide somewhere that I can refer to, or would someone be kind enough to tell me the steps to remove the glovebox?

Thanks in advance

Hammer & Chisel

Nah... You need to remove the strip at the top above the glovebox. It just pops off, then a connector comes off the buttons in the middle. Start from the glovebox end pulling towards you and work along. Don't put too much strain on it as it can snap next to the buttons.

You'll then see a number of torx-headed screws, take them out, there should be two on the side behind the fuse panel cover, and I can't remember if there's any underneath or not.
